Awesome:44- Year Old Woman Delivers Quadruplets after 18 Years of Childlessness (Photos)

A 44-year- old woman, Clara Dominique, who had been childless for 18 years, was last Saturday delivered of quadruplets. The quadruplets are three girls and a male. They were delivered at the Graceland Medical Centre in Benin City, Edo State.

Two of the Dominique quadruplets.

The couple got married in 1996, and experienced the usual turbulence
that infertile couples go through. Clara Dominique said it was God’s
grace that kept them through the trials of childlessness. She said they
refused to keep friends because of the problem.

“I am happy that my husband and I were able to stay together to this day
to witness the blessings of the Lord. My husband has been encouraging
me that God will do it for us. My husband never contemplated driving me
away.

I was happy when the scan showed it was four. Sometimes I think of how I
will carry the four of them. I have not seen somebody delivered four
babies. It was not easy for me to carry the pregnancy. At a time the
weight of the pregnancy was too much for me.

I was the one dedicating children at our church every last Sunday of the
month. I was the first to visit anybody that I knew that gave birth so
that I can give them what I have. I am not the jealous type.

It was my husband’s cousins that tried to take the matter up but my
husband stopped them. My parents were also there to encourage us. That
was what kept us together because the family pressure was not there.
They knew we were Christians and nobody could penetrate my husband and
I.”

One of the doctors at the hospital, Dr. Oni Samson, said the babies were delivered through cesarean section. She said:

“You don’t expect a woman that is having multiple births to do that
through the vaginal. This is the first time we had quadruplets in this
hospital. The children are okay. The ante-natal was uneventful. They are
still under care for them to be stabilized.”
